"I bought my 2002 Nissan Sentra GXE brand new in 2002. It had manual transmission, which was my preference. Car was very roomy, drove great, lots of space in the trunk. I had very few mechanical problems with my Sentra. I changed spark plugs for the first time around 110,000 miles. The mechanic inspected it at 128,000 miles and said the car was in great mechanical condition and would still be on the road for a long time. Unfortunately, I was in an accident 2 months later that totaled the car with around 144,000 miles (although I think it might have still been repairable & drivable). I was so sad to lose a great running car."

"Great power and maneuverability. Love driving the stick. This is my 3rd Sentra and it is the best one. I like the square-ness of the car. Makes backing, changing lanes, parking very easy. Broke my right hand and had to drive a 2011 Camry, sports version, while I was in my cast. I hated it. No pick up and go like my car. Visibility was bad, parking a nightmare with one hand. I am so happy to be back in my Sentra."

"Since I drove this car when it had 60000 miles to now all i have changed is the cat converter, normal wear like brakes, belts ect, and the radiator, outer tie rod, crank n camshaft sensors for it had a recall on this, besides that fun to drive! Was convinced Nissan is heading into the right direction, ever since have been following up with Nissan and they seem to be the leader in new technology, plus their engines are made reinforced for they can even withstand a turbo kit while just being stock which means impressive power, durability, and strength, still driving!)"
